The economy of recognition : person, market and society in Antonio Rosmini

Introducing an alternative philosophical foundation to the study of economics, this book explains and adopts the perspective of the Italian philosopher Antonio Rosmini (1797-1855), whose interpretation of economic action was fundamentally at odds with the prevailing and all-conquering utilitarianism of modernity. Rosmini, one of the most important Italian and Catholic philosophers of the modern age, eschewed the traditional concepts of subjectivism and individualism at the core of the utilitarian thesis, prefiguring today's critique of 'autistic economics' with his assertion that micro-economic formulae consecrating the 'maximization of utility' derive not from scientific principles or even hypotheses, but from uncritically adopted philosophical ideas.続きを読む

出版社によるあらすじ

From the reviews: "The analysis of Hoevel is ... the most complete study on the economic thought of Antonio Rosmini. ... I would like to thank him for the precious considerations he has given not only to Rosminian research but also to the philosophical and economical discussion on the future of our economic system ... . The study of Hoevel has stimulated my ideas on Rosmini, and ... it will be the same to many readers, which this book merits without any doubt."
